Oregon holds off USC late, grabs Pac-12 title with 31-24 win
USC reached the Oregon 49, but the Ducks' pass rush prevented Slovis from getting off a Hail Mary. Brownโs first throw for the Ducks was a TD pass to Redd on Oregonโs opening drive. USC earned its spot in the title game by going unbeaten with three late comeback victories along the way. Shough hit Johnson with a 16-yard TD pass in the second quarter before Steppโs 1-yard TD run capped USCโs 80-yard drive in response. Brown hit Dye with a short TD pass to finish a drive that consumed half of the third quarter.
